Descripción:	Nematodes are vital in terrestrial ecosystems, shaping global food chains and soil nutrient cycling. Root-knot nematodes, however, such as Meloidogyne enterolobii, pose a great threat as plant parasites, afecting diverse plant species. This review explores essential environmental factors and tactics for handling M. enterolobii. The infuences of climate and soil composition on the pathogen life cycle and on its global distribution will be highlighted. We also discuss molecular and imaging techniques for nematode identifcation, and on diferent control strategies, such as chemical, cultural and biological. Features such as plant genetic resistance and the chemical basis of susceptibility and resistance to these phytopathogens are covered together with important advances on marker-assisted selection, genetic modifcation of plants with resistance genes and suppression of specifc nematode efector-coding genes. Despite the progress in this feld, the control of M. enterolobii remains a challenge, requiring additional research eforts. From a biotechnological perspective, the development of biological inputs for this nematode control holds promise. These bioinputs ofer advantages beyond their direct efects, promoting sustainability, reducing environmental impacts, reducing costs associated with intensive pesticide and fertilizer applications, and increasing productivity while maintaining food security.
